Split Decision

The Lost DVD season six box set has been released. To no one's surprise, it's a top seller. But considering how controversial (to put it nicely) the season was--especially the ending--I was intrigued to see how people rated it on Amazon.

While the other seasons get four-and-a-half out of five stars, this season gets three. Okay, not completely outrageous. But what's interesting is the split. As I write, the ratings are as follows--

Five stars: 75
Four stars: 15
Three stars: 13
Two stars: 19
One star: 57.

So this does seem to be a love it or hate it sort of thing. The highest and lowest choices both get more than the in-betweens added up. (The sample might be biased, as you'd expect those who especially like the show to come to the page and vote.)

PS TheLost auction had some high-priced items. At top was the Dharma van, which sold for $47,500. Also, the Lighthouse wheel and Faraday's journal both went for $27,500. (The wheel might seem cooler, but the journal will unlock the secrets of the universe.)
